fix(sky): preserve dark model lighting and address review

Merge origin/main and retain both format-scope additions.
Give StarrySky a separate black environment cube map and release it on destroy.
Guard anime updates when StarrySky is absent, require a visible Normal sky
before anime QA, and compare a lit airplane against black and white controls.
Document the sky background contract and its verification.

 - **Via Lietuva / Eismoinfo (Lithuania).** Public road-camera catalogs and periodically updated still images from [Eismoinfo](https://eismoinfo.lt/), credited to Via Lietuva / eismoinfo.lt in the app. **Off by default.** The camera endpoints are the eismoinfo.lt website backend and are not among the services listed in Via Lietuva's [open-data statement](https://eismoinfo.lt/eismoinfo-backend/content?id=44), whose conditions are attribution and reuse on the same terms. Until the statement is confirmed to cover the camera photos, the pack loads only when an operator sets `CCTV_LITHUANIA_ENABLED=1`; with the flag unset, empty or any other value, the server makes no request to Eismoinfo. `eismoinfo-backend/camera-info-table` is joined by ID to `layer-static-features/VKR`. Without `lks=true`, the latter returns WGS84 `[latitude, longitude]`; the table's `x/y` instead use LKS-94 metres. Only the official HTTPS `/eismoinfo-backend/image-provider/camera/last?id=…` image endpoint is registered. Catalogs use the shared 15-minute cache; frames are fetched on demand and never bundled or archived. These are periodic snapshots, not continuous video. Camera headings are low-confidence estimates. No API key is required. `CCTV_LITHUANIA_MAX_SOURCES` defaults to 400.
+- **Freeway Bureau, MOTC (Taiwan).** National freeway cameras from the Freeway Bureau's keyless [CCTV static table](https://tisvcloud.freeway.gov.tw/history/motc20/CCTV.xml) in the MOTC 2.0 standard, refreshed daily and fetched at runtime (never bundled). Freeway Bureau traffic data is published under the [Open Government Data License, Taiwan (Version 1.0)](https://data.gov.tw/license), which permits reuse, including commercial reuse, with attribution; the app credits the Freeway Bureau, MOTC, names the dataset and links the licence, as its attribution exhibit asks. The table publishes each camera's MJPEG stream on one of four official camera servers (`cctvn`, `cctvn5`, `cctvc`, `cctvs` under `freeway.gov.tw`). The frame proxy relays single images, so each published stream URL is mapped to the same server's single-JPEG path for the same camera number (`/abs2mjpg/bmjpg` → `/abs2mjpg/jpg`, `/live-view/mjpg/video.cgi` → `/live-view/jpg/image.cgi`); only those exact HTTPS pairs are registered, and the still path is not itself listed in the table. These are on-demand snapshots, not continuous video. Camera headings are low-confidence estimates. No API key is required. The table host does not answer from some networks outside Taiwan (the camera servers do); there the pack is empty, logs one warning and retries hourly. On by default; `CCTV_TAIWAN_ENABLED=0` skips the pack, and `CCTV_TAIWAN_MAX_SOURCES` defaults to 600 (bounded to 1–2000).
 
 - **Google Maps Platform.** You supply your own API key and are bound by [Google's ToS](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms). Google Maps Content (tiles, geocodes, places) **may not be cached, stored, rehosted, or committed** — this app only ever uses it live, which is the compliant pattern. The "Google" attribution is displayed on the globe and must stay visible. Restrict your key (see [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md)).
 - **OpenSky Network.** Its license is **non-commercial**, and operational use of the REST API in a live product can require a prior written agreement with OpenSky — even for non-profit/government use. If you deploy this commercially, contact OpenSky for your own terms. The flights layer is a toggle and runs anonymously by default.

 - **adsbdb enrichment.** `/api/adsbdb` resolves an ICAO hex to aircraft type, model name and registration, and the tracked flight's callsign to an airline and an origin/destination pair. Fan-out is deliberately small because adsbdb is a free community API that publishes no quota: at most 4 requests in flight, dispatches dripped to roughly 5/s, and each key asked for at most once per session, with route lookups reserved for the tracked aircraft. The dev-server proxy caches each key for 24 hours in `.gev-cache/adsbdb.json`, negative answers included, so fresh entries survive server restarts. That gitignored cache remains local to the deployment and is not bundled with this repo. adsbdb publishes no general service license; its README says the route data may not be copied, published, or incorporated into other databases without the explicit permission of David J Taylor, Edinburgh. Deployers are responsible for obtaining any permission their use requires. Enrichment is best-effort and fail-silent — a flight that gets no answer keeps what the flight feed already gave it.
 - **Launch Library 2.** `/api/launches` makes a server-side rolling-30-day query against the supported v2.3 detailed launch endpoint, caches successful responses for 15 minutes in memory and on disk, and serves the last successful response during a throttle or transient outage. Anonymous access is limited to 15 calls/hour; deployments can provide `LL2_API_TOKEN` for authenticated access. The Space Devs' published terms permit using and sharing the API data in any form, ask users not to forward it without adding value, disclaim complete accuracy, and encourage—but do not require—attribution. This app keeps a courtesy credit. Payload and stage/recovery records are shown only when supplied. Failed launches expose their source status and never receive fallback orbit geometry or a live/estimated marker. LL2 supplies launch context and event timing, not continuous ascent telemetry or live orbital state.
 - **TfL JamCams.** The camera list comes from the keyless `api.tfl.gov.uk` endpoint (an optional `TFL_APP_KEY` raises its rate limit); frames come from TfL's public S3 bucket. The "Powered by TfL Open Data" attribution is required by TfL's terms and is registered in the Data attribution popover.
-- **Ontario 511 CCTV.** The camera list comes from the keyless `511on.ca/api/v2/get/cameras` endpoint; frames are server-registered still images under `511on.ca/map/Cctv/`. The source is live-fetched at runtime and attributed under the Open Government Licence - Ontario.
+- **Ontario 511 CCTV.** The camera list comes from the `511on.ca/api/v2/get/cameras` endpoint, which now requires a free developer key (`ONTARIO_511_API_KEY`: sign up at 511on.ca/my511/register, then request it while logged in at 511on.ca/developers/doc; throttled to 10 calls a minute). Without the key the pack is skipped. Frames are server-registered still images under `511on.ca/map/Cctv/`. The source is live-fetched at runtime and attributed under the Open Government Licence - Ontario. Access is governed by Ontario 511's Developer's Access Agreement (511on.ca/developers/resources): the data stays under the Open Government Licence - Ontario unless otherwise specified; key requests are reviewed case by case and ask for the intended use and any third parties that will receive the data; attribution by link to 511on.ca is encouraged, and the Ontario 511 logo may not be altered or used to imply endorsement (this app links and shows no logo); and the data is provided "as is", a disclaimer distributors should pass on, which the credit does.
 - **DelDOT live video cameras.** The keyless `tmc.deldot.gov/json/videocamera.json` catalog supplies active cameras and official `https://video.deldot.gov/live/…/playlist.m3u8` links. The local server transiently buffers bounded MPEG-TS segments in memory and deletes them on session release or idle expiry. No recordings are retained. `CCTV_DELDOT_ENABLED=0` disables the pack. Public availability is not a blanket redistribution license; deployment beyond personal local viewing needs confirmation of applicable DelDOT terms.
 - **Fintraffic weathercams.** The camera list is one keyless GeoJSON request to `tie.digitraffic.fi/api/weathercam/v1/stations` (809 stations / 2,275 presets), sent with the `Digitraffic-User: gods-eye-view` header the service asks clients to identify themselves with and with gzip; frames are stills on `weathercam.digitraffic.fi`, refreshed on each station's 600 s collection interval, which is also the client's ambient-still refresh cadence for this pack (the active camera keeps the usual 10-second refresh). One preset (a fixed camera view) is one camera; stations not `GATHERING` and presets not `inCollection` are dropped. Attribution is required by the CC BY 4.0 licence and is registered in the Data attribution popover. `CCTV_FINTRAFFIC_ENABLED=0` is the kill switch.
 - **DriveBC highway cameras.** The camera list comes from the keyless `https://www.drivebc.ca/api/webcams/` endpoint served by the DriveBC.ca site ([bcgov/DriveBC.ca](https://github.com/bcgov/DriveBC.ca)); frames come from `https://www.drivebc.ca/images/<id>.jpg`, built from the numeric camera id. DataBC's [DriveBC HighwayCams](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/bc-highwaycams) catalogue entry publishes the same cameras under the Open Government Licence – British Columbia, but its CSV still lists the retired `images.drivebc.ca` frame URLs, which now return a placeholder. The licence's attribution statement is required and is registered in the Data attribution popover. By default the 250 cameras nearest Vancouver and Victoria load; `CCTV_DRIVEBC_MAX_SOURCES` changes the cap and `CCTV_DRIVEBC_ENABLED=0` turns the pack off. Some cameras in the feed are supplied by partners (TransLink, the City of Vancouver, the City of Surrey, Parks Canada / Alberta Motor Association and others); the feed's per-camera credit is carried onto the camera record and shown beside the provider in the CCTV panel.

 - **Catalonia (Servei Català de Trànsit) cameras.** The camera list is the keyless `https://www.gencat.cat/transit/opendata/cameres.xml` WFS/GML feed, fetched over https with redirects refused and the body read capped at 1 MiB, since the list decides ids, coordinates and which allowlisted frame path is proxied. It carries a `font` field naming the real publisher per camera; this pack keeps SCT's own highway cameras plus hotlinked Barcelona (IMI) and Terrassa municipal cameras (~130 total), each confirmed to return a real frame, so frame URLs are checked against a small host allowlist (`mct.gencat.cat`, `www.bcn.cat`, `emap.terrassa.cat`) rather than one pinned origin (a link carrying `user:pass@` userinfo or an explicit port, or pointing outside that host's frame directory, is rejected even on an allowed host; an SCT `sctidcam` must be a bare `.gif`/`.jpg` filename), and every non-SCT camera carries its real owner as a `credit` shown beside the shared `provider`. The feed carries no compass heading, so every camera loads at low heading confidence (same as TfL and Fintraffic). SCT's own feed link (`RenderService`) needed a workaround: it always 302s to a second endpoint (`TransitCamera`) on a Location the upstream hardcodes as plain http even when requested over https — refused by `fetchWithinHost`'s same-origin (scheme-included) redirect policy — and separately, `mct.gencat.cat`'s TLS setup fails the handshake with Node's fetch outright (`ERR_SSL_WRONG_SIGNATURE_TYPE`) even though other HTTP clients complete it. The loader therefore builds the `TransitCamera` URL itself, over plain http, from `RenderService`'s `sctidcam` id, rather than registering the (broken) upstream link — the only transport this one host actually serves to this runtime. Camera ids are built from the SCT camera file or the partner image path, not the feed's `fid` (which embeds an upstream server-start stamp and changes on every upstream restart), and rows the feed lists more than once collapse to one camera. The feed carries no camera status field, so a camera its publisher has taken offline still registers and shows the publisher's own "image unavailable" still (SCT and Barcelona both serve one with HTTP 200), the same as other packs without a status field. Frames are fetched at request time and never stored or redistributed. The feed itself states no licence; the pack relies on the Generalitat de Catalunya open-data portal's terms for this dataset (the licence and attribution above). Disable with `CCTV_CATALONIA_ENABLED=0`.
 - **King County road cameras.** Keyless. The camera list is one public ArcGIS FeatureServer GeoJSON query (King County DOT Road Services, "King County and WSDOT Traffic Cameras"). The `outFields` list is explicit on purpose: the layer also carries asset-administration columns — including staff names — that are never fetched. Only live, active cameras with frames on the county's own `info.kingcounty.gov` image handler are registered (the feed writes `http://`; the handler serves HTTPS, so URLs are upgraded and pinned before registration). WSDOT-owned rows in the layer are skipped because their frames are WSDOT-hosted, outside the pinned image origin; partner-city cameras hosted on the county image handler (e.g. Newcastle) name their owner as the per-camera credit. The layer publishes no facing, so headings use the shared id-hash fallback at low confidence. Uniquely, the county publishes each camera's hardware `Manufacturer`/`Model` (Cohu 3950/3965, Bosch AUTODOME, Axis PTZ domes); both are carried on the source (and served by `/api/cctv/sources`) as `model` and `manufacturer` for identified-hardware consumers (vendor-generic strings such as `PTZ` name no model and are omitted). Frames are fetched at request time and never stored or redistributed. Disable with `CCTV_KINGCOUNTY_ENABLED=0`.
 - **WSDOT highway cameras.** Keyless. The camera list is the Esri JSON layer `data.wsdot.wa.gov/travelcenter/Cameras.json` — the same layer WSDOT's own Travel Center map consumes (~1,700 point features, EPSG:3857 geometry converted to WGS84 on load; the body carries Windows-1252 bytes and is decoded as such). Only frames on WSDOT's own `images.wsdot.wa.gov` host are registered — the catalog also lists ~70 partner cameras (Oregon DOT, City of Seattle, lodges, airports) whose own terms apply, and those are skipped rather than proxied. WSDOT's layer metadata marks the feed for "low volume" use (see WSDOT's [travel information disclaimer](https://wsdot.wa.gov/about/policies/travel-information-disclaimer)). The catalog is fetched once per CCTV catalog refresh (every 15 minutes), and a camera's frame is fetched only when that camera is viewed; frames are never stored or redistributed. The live feed's `CompassDirection` is a single cardinal (N/E/S/W), `B` (both directions — most rows), `O`, or null. A single cardinal gives a high-confidence heading (the diagonals NE/SE/SW/NW are mapped too should they appear); `B`, `O`, null, and any other code carry no single facing and use the shared id-hash fallback at low confidence. By default the 250 cameras nearest Seattle and Spokane load; `CCTV_WSDOT_MAX_SOURCES` changes the cap (8–1,200) and `CCTV_WSDOT_ENABLED=0` turns the pack off. A keyed WSDOT Traveler Information API serves the same population for higher-volume use and is deliberately not required here.
+- **Hong Kong Transport Department traffic snapshot cameras.** Keyless. The English camera list is the public DATA.GOV.HK XML at `static.data.gov.hk/td/traffic-snapshot-images/code/Traffic_Camera_Locations_En.xml`; frames are stills on `tdcctv.data.one.gov.hk`, and only that host is registered. Frame URLs are rebuilt from each camera key (`https://tdcctv.data.one.gov.hk/{KEY}.JPG`) rather than taken verbatim from the catalog. Stills were probed to answer directly on that origin with no redirect hop. Frames are fetched at request time and never stored or redistributed. The dataset publishes no camera facing, so headings use the shared id-hash fallback at low confidence and are corrected with the in-app calibration gizmo. By default nearly the full catalog loads (~1,013; pack cap 1,100), prioritized nearest Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan, Tai Po, Fanling, Tuen Mun, Yuen Long and Tseung Kwan O so a lowered cap still spans Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories. When the sum of packs exceeds the catalog-wide ceiling, shared round-robin keeps every lane represented. `CCTV_HK_MAX_SOURCES` (8–1200) changes the cap and `CCTV_HK_ENABLED=0` turns the pack off. The DATA.GOV.HK Terms of Use require attribution to the Government / Transport Department / DATA.GOV.HK.
 - **Statens vegvesen road cameras.** Keyless. The camera list is one GeoJSON request to the OGC API Features view of the official DATEX 3.1 CCTV site table (`ogckart-sn1.atlas.vegvesen.no/ogc/features/v1/collections/datex_3_1:CctvSimple/items`), so no DATEX account is needed; frames are stills on `kamera.atlas.vegvesen.no/api/images/<cameraId>`, and only that exact path per camera is registered. Cameras the feed reports as faulty are dropped. About 135 working cameras also publish live HLS (`kamera.vegvesen.no/public/<cameraId>/manifest.m3u8`, MPEG-TS); those play as live video through the bounded in-memory HLS relay, with the still as the snapshot fallback, and only that exact manifest path per camera is registered. `CCTV_VEGVESEN_VIDEO=0` keeps every camera on stills. `orientationDescription` names the place a camera faces, not a bearing, so it goes into the label and headings use the id-hash fallback at low confidence. By default every live camera loads (~850); `CCTV_VEGVESEN_MAX_SOURCES` (8–1000) lowers the cap, keeping the cameras nearest Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger, Trondheim, Kristiansand, Bodø and Tromsø and `CCTV_VEGVESEN_ENABLED=0` turns the pack off. Frames are fetched at request time and never stored or redistributed. The NLOD attribution is registered in the Data attribution popover.
+- **Kartverket ground heights for Statens vegvesen cameras.** The camera feed's points are 2D, so the loader asks Kartverket's keyless point-height API (`ws.geonorge.no/hoydedata/v1/punkt`, CC BY 4.0) for the terrain height at each camera. Requests carry 20 points: the API accepts 50, but above ~20 it answers the extra points from contour lines (`hoydekurver`, metres to ~20 m off) or not at all. Eight requests run at a time, about 36 for the whole country: a cold lookup took 6–13 s in testing (single requests 0.6–9.5 s). Answers are matched by the coordinates the API echoes and recorded only for points that request asked about. Over water the API returns the sea-floor depth (`dybdekurver` or `Havflate`), which is replaced by 0 m, the water surface; for the ~14 bridge cameras that is below the deck, but much closer than the sea floor or the flat prior. Heights are cached in memory by position for the life of the server, and points with no height (a few ferry quays and bridges, or a point a 200 answer leaves out) for 6 h, so the 15-minute catalog refresh only asks about new or moved cameras. The first failing request (a 408, 429 or 5xx, a network error, a request over 10 s, or an unreadable or oversized body) stops the lookup, with no retries, and no new lookup starts until the backoff ends (Retry-After when sent, else 30 min, longer than the refresh; bounded to 1 min–1 h). Any other 4xx marks that request's points as having no height and the lookup carries on. The whole lookup has a 30 s deadline; a lookup cut short by it resumes on the next refresh without a backoff. The lane waits at most 12 s, counted from the start of the loader, and only when more than 10% of the cameras have no answer yet; a few new cameras or expired misses are looked up in the background. A slower lookup keeps filling the cache, and the cameras it had not reached keep the flat prior until the next 15-minute refresh (about 190 of 865 on one slow first run). Only coordinates are sent, with the same User-Agent as the other CCTV requests. `CCTV_VEGVESEN_HEIGHTS=0` turns the lookup off. The Kartverket credit, with a note that heights over water are set to 0 m and heights are rounded to 0.1 m, is shown beside the Statens vegvesen entry in the Data attribution popover.
 - **NYC DOT Traffic Management Center cameras.** Off by default. NYC DOT's [developer data feeds page](https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/about/datafeeds.shtml) asks developers who want the camera feed to contact `[email protected]` and sign a data-sharing agreement. This project does not hold one that covers downstream installations, so the pack loads only when an operator who holds their own agreement sets `CCTV_NYC_ENABLED=1`; with the flag unset, empty or any other value, the server makes no request to NYC DOT. The endpoint needs no key. The camera list is the public `webcams.nyctmc.org/api/cameras` catalog (~980 cameras across the five boroughs); frames are stills at `webcams.nyctmc.org/api/cameras/<uuid>/image`, synthesized from a validated UUID rather than taken from the payload, and only that host is registered. Cameras the feed reports as offline are dropped. The catalog publishes no camera facing, so headings use the shared id-hash fallback at low confidence and are corrected with the in-app calibration gizmo. Once enabled, the 250 cameras nearest the borough cores load; `CCTV_NYC_MAX_SOURCES` (8–400) changes the cap. Frames are fetched at request time and never stored or redistributed. NYC DOT asks every application that uses its data to carry its disclaimer; it is registered verbatim in the Data attribution popover.
 - **City of Toronto RESCU cameras.** Keyless. The camera list is the City's public `tmcearthcameras.json` on `opendata.toronto.ca` (dataset "Traffic Cameras", Transportation Services), served as JSONP and unwrapped with an anchored pattern. This is the municipal network the Ontario 511 pack does not carry: downtown arterials plus the Gardiner, DVP, Allen and Lake Shore. The list publishes no frame URL, so frame URLs are BUILT from the documented `CameraImages/loc####.jpg` convention and a strictly-digits camera number, pinning the frame proxy to the portal origin by construction; the list fetch refuses redirects and bounds the body it buffers. Frames are fetched at request time and never stored or redistributed. The dataset publishes no camera facing: the `D1`-`D4` fields are the directions of the *comparison* images (static reference stills captured in 2016 under a different path), not a bearing for the live pan-tilt-zoom frame, so headings use the shared id-hash fallback at low confidence and are corrected with the in-app calibration gizmo. A camera that is temporarily out of service still answers 200 with a byte-identical "Image Unavailable" placeholder rather than an error (about 6% of the network at any moment), so such a camera reads as healthy; the frame it shows is the agency's, not a synthesized one. The licence requires the attribution statement above. Disable with `CCTV_TORONTO_ENABLED=0`.
 - **Camera frame content.** Public camera frames can contain people, vehicles and license plates, and the camera layer does nothing with them beyond putting them on the map. A successful upstream response is relayed as the provider served it: nothing in the camera pipeline blurs, redacts, enhances or restores it, and nothing there runs face, plate or object detection or otherwise recognises or classifies what is in the picture. (The ALPR layer described below maps where plate-reader cameras are, from locations contributors tagged in OpenStreetMap; it reads nothing from any camera frame.) When an upstream has no frame for a camera, what you see instead is a Google Street View still or the app's own placeholder card; the panel's source badge names which of them you are looking at, and a refresh that fails after a frame has arrived leaves the last good picture on screen rather than replacing it. The browser resamples each frame for display: onto a fixed 1920x1080 surface for the camera's projection plane in the scene, and onto a 192x108 canvas for the small ambient card. That scaling is the only change made to the picture, and the only pixels the camera layer reads back are a 64x36 downscale hashed to tell whether the picture has changed. Live streams are piped through; the still path reads the image into memory to pass it on — TxDOT wraps its JPEG in a JSON envelope, which is decoded there — and no frame is written to disk (the disk cache, `.gev-cache/`, holds feed JSON for other layers and never camera imagery). Outside that pipeline, the voice assistant is the one feature that sends imagery anywhere: when it answers a question about what is in view it may attach a downscaled screenshot of the rendered scene — including any camera plane on screen — to the request it sends to the voice model. Frames are fetched only from server-registered camera URLs — a client cannot hand the proxy a URL (see [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md)). What the app does stays inside the line README draws: no named-person search, no face recognition, no tracking individuals.
